"There was this guy on a motorcycle right in front of me...maybe six feet?

"And he looked at me.

"He didn't wave, but he looked at me, and then he pulled out into traffic and this car, like, boom - killed him instantly.

"I was the last person he saw on earth."

Immediately after the accident, Dinklage ran into into a coffee shop to call an ambulance but it was too late.

The biker had been killed instantly in the collision and it is a memory that is embedded deep in the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor.

He told the magazine: "There was this quiet moment where it was like I was the only person in the world who knew this guy was dead.

"And I was there looking at him, you know, in those moments of calm after something horrible happens, the calm before the melee starts, before the ambulances and the cops arrive and it becomes a scene.

"There was that moment when I was with him."

Dinklage has had a major role in the hit TV show Game of Thrones since 2011 and has starred in dozens of hit films like Elf and Ice Age: Continental Drift.
